On a semi-related note... you know you go to a tyre shop too often when they've got your car for several hours tracking down a puncture to repair and checking the rest of the rim in their tank to make sure there's no other leaks... Then you get them to swap the lock nuts on the rims to the standard nuts you supplied but they misread the work sheet and only did 4 nuts from each wheel... so the manager does it himself in the hot sun by hand.

Then he says "Oh don't even worry about it, no charge"

/win

So...after many hours they finally did what you originally asked them to?

lol gonna head to thewheeldeal on the way home and get something there those maxxis MA-Z1s are $205, can get some fresh Achilles for $115 review dont look so bad:

At least till I get some decent width rims on again :yes:

Maybe I'll schedule in the next appointment while I get them changed over

Keep it in perspective though, all those reviews are written by people who spend $115 on performance tyres

LOL I'm not expecting much from $115 tyres

It's purely so there's something legal on there and not on the wires, if I was to have a stack in the wet currently fat chance of insurance covering it

The fact I only have a 8" stock rim don't think it'll matter what I have on there anyway, easy to loose traction regardless

So...after many hours they finally did what you originally asked them to?

I said they had the car for that long, not I was sitting there waiting that long... Key takeaway point was, it was free and now the emo is no longer limping along with low pressures in the mornings.

Not sure if oxymoron

Just a moron...

What fat rimz are you thinking of Leigh? They're 5x114.3 yeah? Can put something jdm tite on there to piss off the purists from both camps?

Yeah 5x114.3 i'd love some jdm ones but problem is 19 or 20 inch decent size jdm rims cost an absolute fortune.

Would love some meisters or something similar if I were to find them though.

Dam these are just too low offset and would scrub a fair bit

needs to be said.

we need to improve our driving test.

and stop parents teaching kids/getting hours in.

make mandatory lessons with a registered instructor law.

too many times i have seen learners sat in the right hand lane for 5km and they are not turning. etc etc etc.

the state of driving in this country is terrible.

im not saying the basic driving skill, im saying the ability to drive to the rules and conditions of the road.

tldr?

your a shit kent driver mate.

I wouldn't trust 'professional' instructors, I've seen them teaching learners dodgy shit. Like lane hogging, driving below the limit (don't care if it's 'safe' but it cause more trouble than its worth).

nah man heat gun and jack stands.

thing is i cant even do a skid once theyre up to temp. LOL

it just launched. launched like a f**king champion as well.

RIP ass end.

Heat gun? Shits gonna take ages!

Heater and jack stands is better option ;)

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
